AzzurrA

next one is at the end of November

i'm bored mofos... entertain me

to check mine, what we did was get a 'T' fitting.. on one prong we connected the gauge, to one side we connected a short length of fuel hose, and on the other side, we connected the fuel line from the pump to that (you disconnect this from the regulator, and replace it with the short piece of pipe that you just added to the T-piece) then take it for a drive around the block, under normal driving conditions, and then under boost etc (get someone to come with you to read the gauge) and report back what you find.... from memory (don't quote me on this though, as it's only off the top of my head.... perhaps someone else can help out here) a 'healthy' figure will be around 3 bar (around 45psi) or so?

okay, you work for a kmart tyre and auto... do you have a pressure gauge at all around the workshop? if so, i would T that into the fuel line (between the pump and the regulator) and see what sort of pressures you are getting... sounds like it's possibly a fuel pump drama, might be getting towards the end of its life?

also sorry i didn't make this... by the time i got home from the trackday it was 6:45 and i wasn't feeling the best either (still got the flu) i'm off work next tuesday night so i should be able to come to that one

here's some of the better pics that i/my brother got... sorry dude, i can't remember your username! Col way off line... mmmmm, flames! you can thank me for this one later Col! sorry dude, can't remember your username? maybe 17SOK can help me out here?

burt reynolds' son

*yawn* just got up... lol... about to start packing the car, then will head off

from the information in the email we were sent, racing starts at 1pm get some pics of my car please!

for the torana owners, try www.gmh-torana.com i hang out there a bit

yay, nearly time! p.s. i figured out tonight RE55's on wet roads = interesting

I may quite possibly be in....

Time to wake up, Dave!

mates dad owns a supercharged one, it goes alright, is deafening when he gives it a bootful next to your open window too, haha

quick/rough measurements: Rear Left: 328mm Front Left: 327mm Front Right: 325mm Rear Right: 325mm p.s. Thanks King Springs you useless wankers

1) Shocks are only around 1 year old - if they're worn out, then whiteline/bilstein have something to answer for, one or the other of the upper or lower arm bushes have been changed (i have new bushes for camber adjustment). Pineapples have been fitted in the 'handling' setup apparently 2) have done all that, have syphoned out all old fluid, added new fluid, flushed the whole system front and rear, all seems to be fine as for alignment, this is what i'm running: Front: left castor - 4.96 right castor - 3.82 left camber - -2.08 right camber- -1.79 front toe - 0mm Rear: left camber - -1.44 right camber - -1.75 rear toe - 0mm

*shrug* well if it's raining, i guess i'm out, as a) i feel $120 is not too much to lose compared to possibly binning the car (and if the results of the southern trackdays are anything to go by, there's usually 2 or 3 cars that get binned each time it rains), or b) if i did get out there i would be pussyfooting it around so much that everyone would have a sook that i'm holding them up... afternoon spot possibly for sale

Hrm, so what happens if it is raining? I just thought i'd ask, as they're predicting rain and winds all this week is it cancelled? still on?

oh, and i've been hanging out on the Torana website again.... nice bunch of people

i just love driving... my shift's nearly over... i think i have coughed enough tonight to have sent all my germs through the airconditioning system so everyone else gets sick....

hey John... how'd you end up doing? i don't suppose i could bother you for a bit of VH45DE advice etc do you? I'm thinking of fitting one to something much, much older than a skyline.... and it's Australian Built....

Digging up a bit of an old topic here... have tried just about everything i can think of to resolve the brake bias issue, but nothing seems to work... have re-bled the lines, have taken front pads out and scuffed them up a bit and put them back in incase they were glazed/not bedded, have changed rear pads back to standardish ones (i have a feeling they're bendix ultimates), have put better tyres (semi-slicks) on the car incase it was tyres being too crap for the brakes... nothing seems to change it... about the only thing i can think of left to try is to fit a proportioning valve.... gonna call around on monday morning and see if i can get somewhere to fit one on Monday (Track day on tuesday, which i could use to set it up)... anyone know what a good one to get is? Spoke to a place that said they could fit an in-cabin adjustable one for me but that seems to be a bit hard-core for what i'm using it for, so probably just a simple one that controls the rears only would be fine... i've seen some Wilwood ones for sale on Ebay for around $80 (and know a place that can buy them in from their supplier too) would this be okay?

edit: found the site... http://www.paranormal.com.au/

wow, just read through this thread, and there are some REALLY bad ideas on how to 'get rid' of the spirit in here.... all you would achieve with alot of these suggestions is to piss it off good and proper.... someone mentioned previously that there are good and bad spirits... this is true... some are there just going about their 'routine' however, there are sometimes also harmful spirits... from what you described in your last account of what was happening, sounds like you came across one of these.... i came across an Australian paranormal forum a while back (via google) that had alot of people on it who knew what they were doing in this field (alot of them work as 'exorcists', or clairvoyants, or mediums etc, or simply live in haunted houses) i can't remember where the forum was though? Perhaps do a google search of "Australian" "Ghost" "Forums" or something?

the one i went to is in Brisbane
